Safety instructions
• Have loads fastened and crane operators guided by experienced persons only!
The person guiding the operator must be within sight or sound of him
• Always use specially designed or otherwise safety-oriented ladders and working
platforms to perform overhead assembly work.
Never use machine parts or attachments/superstructures as a climbing aid!
Wear a safety harness when performing maintenance at greater heights!
Keep all handholds, steps, handrails, platforms, landings and ladders free from dirt,
snow and ice!
• Clean the machine, especially connections and threaded unions, of any traces of oil,
fuel or preservatives before performing maintenance/repair work!
Do not use aggressive detergents!
Use lint-free cleaning rags!
• Before cleaning the machine with water, steam jet (high-pressure cleaner) or deter-
gents, cover or tape up all openings which – for safety and functional reasons – must
be protected against water, steam or detergent penetration. Special care must be taken
with the electrical system
• After cleaning, remove all covers and tapes applied for that purpose!
• After cleaning, examine all fuel, lubricant and hydraulic oil lines for leaks, chafe marks
and damage!
Rectify all malfunctions without delay!
• Always tighten any threaded fittings that have been loosened during maintenance and
repair!
• Any safety devices removed for set-up, maintenance or repair purposes must be
refitted and checked immediately upon completion of the maintenance and repair work
• Ensure that all consumables and replaced parts are disposed of safely and with
minimum environmental impact!
• Do not use the work equipment as lifting platforms for persons!
• Before taking up work on machine parts dangerous for life and limb (bruising, cutting),
always ensure safe blocking/support of these areas
• Perform maintenance and repair work beneath a raised machine, attachments or
additional equipment only if a safe and secure support has been provided for (the sole
use of hydraulic cylinders, jacks, etc. does not sufficiently secure raised machines or
equipment/attachments)
• Avoid contact with hot parts, such as the engine block or the exhaust system during the
operation of the machine and for some time afterward – burn hazard!
• Retainer pins can fly out or splinter when struck with force – injury hazard!
• Do not use starting fuel! This especially applies to those cases in which a heater plug
(intake-air preheating) is used at the same time – explosion hazard!
• Apply special care when working on the fuel system – increased fire hazard!
